A method and apparatus that controls a peak-current condition in a multi-die memory, such as a solid-state drive, by determining by at least one die of the multi-die memory whether a subsequent memory operation is a high-current memory operation, such as an operation to enable a charge pump of the die, an operation to charge a bit line of the die, or a program/erase loop operation, or a combination thereof. The die enters a suspended-operation mode if the subsequent memory operation is determined to be a high current memory operation. Operation is resumed by the die in response to a resume operation event, such as, but not limited to, a command specifically address to the die, an indication from another die that a high-current memory operation is complete. Once operation is resumed, the die performs the high-current memory operation. |
